Yes, Polar Tankers a ConocoPhillips fleet and BP carry most of it. They now need more North Slope Oil to reach Valdez storage and West Coast refinery capacity. Alaskans are not receiving the oil checks they used too. AnWAr would help.

The problem with that idea is that Alaska gets next to none of the royalties from any ANWR fields since they are on Fed land. Prudhoe is on State land so Alaska could get 50%, but Alaska gets 10% elsewhere according to the present plan. The revenues go out and don't come back. Bridge to Nowhere? It's in Louisiana on Alaska's money.

They are as big as the peak but they are not bad. I wasn't complaining about the last ones my family received. $1,654 per person was certainly above average.
